According to MLB.com's Greg Zeck, Josh Johnson ''has been touching as high as 96-mph on his fastball.''
"It's coming out the same way as before, but my delivery is so much more consistent," Johnson said. "There's no point in trying to throw hard, and have the ball go all over the place." Johnson's velocity was down after missing most of 2011 with a shoulder injury, but he's 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his last seven starts. He'll take on Alex Cobb in the series finale Sunday against the Rays.
